I'm French and my name is Luaine, which is an old Irish name and I've always wondered how it's primarily pronounced ^^
MY GOD YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your hair.
What is the fata(sp?) for? Thanks😄. I just love Irish names!!!
Margaret Abel *fada
É- Ay
Á- Aw
Í- Ee
Ó- Oh
Ú- Oo
It changes the pronunciation of the vowel
Edit: accidentally clicked on “à” instead of “á”
How many silent letters do you want?:
Ireland: yes
Correction... "Yes" is pronounced "No" xD
😂😂😂😂
Most of them aren’t actually silent. It’s just different combinations of letters make different sounds because it’s a different language.
Grace coohl
You people who make fun of a nationality that ur not is just plain ignorant😲
I’m not Irish nor pregnant why am I here and why am I enjoying this-
lmao :D same thought
Because names and languages are just cool. I look up names all the time, just because. (But also for character names for wishful book writing)
same
alixe same
Same!
French: My spelling has nothing to do with how words are pronounced.
Irish: Hold my Guinness.
I mean, in french the word for "bird" is "oiseau", pronounced "wazo". I think we can get close to Irish with some of these
Irish is a phonetic language.
Lol yes
Stop that! I nearly peed myself reading this!

Thks for the detailed translations!
I named my daughter Siobhan,but since I'm American ,I spelled it Chavonne.Its truly a beautiful name
These are Hindu and African names.
@@julesvee1803 there can be variation of names in different parts of the world .. like Rose and Marie/Maria are common in different cultures
The faux-netics are getting to me. And the one for Siobhán is definitely wrong. The second vowel is long.
„It’s spelled sbcifkgebsuchdve. You pronounce it Or-la.“ 😂
I’m Irish too
I literally laughed out loud.
😄😄😄😄
Wolfmaedchen literally half my name is silent lol
😂I'm hollering!!🤣
People: French is hard to pronounce
Irish with names: hold my beer
Nah we only have names like Saibh Éireann ???????
But if I managed to learn anything about the Irish language so far - it is this: spelling rules in Irish are way more consistent then in French... and in English of course! :)
I am learning Scottish Gaelic and I can pronounce all these. Gaelic spelling and pronunciation is much more consistent than English!
@@coiridhwever3475 Maybe, but the letters seem to have very little to do with the pronunciation. It's like they just picked a random selection of 2-5 letters out of a bag to represent a sound.
@@SarthorS no, some of them just have different sounds assigned to them with Gaelic orthography. I understand the struggle.
It is so fascinating how they are spelled and pronounced so differently! 🤩
They are just spelt and pronounced in Irish, not differently as they are read in Irish
Imagine having an Irish name and being grown up in Italy since you were one year old. Yes, that's me.
Did you have a hard time learning how to spell your name? I was wondering for kids whose parents give them an Irish name but they grow up not speaking Irish or learning to read/write Irish, it must be a trip to figure out how to relate the pronunciation with the spelling.
😂🤣😂
Perfect! The country where EVERY vowel is pronounced.
Imagine Starbucks in Ireland. Names on the cups could get out of hand
There is actually a comedy video about it
Newsflash: it's been there for years.
Irish people can pronounce Irish names. They can spell them too...... wonders never cease
I'm irish and it's the only names they get right lol
I think China is even harder: In the school class I visited the were only a few pupil that knew how to write the names of all class members (age 17-18)
This makes me feel dyslexic
no you're not dyslexic. It's simply another language. The Irish language is another world, a wonderful world.
Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat, a villen.
Well I am lol and this just makes me feel frightened
jooneemoon they never said that, you must’ve misunderstood ahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This makes me feel better about my dyslexia
My hubby and I ended up watching this video when I was pregnant with our daughter and struggling to find a name that clicked with us. As soon as we heard you say Orla, we just knew that was it! Our daughter, Orla Abigail, is now 10 months old and we are still in love with her name!
omg thats amazing!
Same! My husband is Irish and we’re looking for Irish name for our baby daughter. Watched this and fell in love with Saoirse. A risky move but we’ll see how it goes! 😂
@@millahs5590 Saoirse is a beautiful name. Go with it!
Aww rhays so cute. It's nice seeing Irish names being used around the world
My husband just settled on orlaith! We’re doing orlaith roisin.
We’re so excited
We have Irish in our ancestry. One daughter decided she wanted an Irish name for her baby, a daughter. Niamh. There was only one nurse when she was born who knew how to pronounce her name and that was because she had a friend named Niamh. And there was also a nun - but she was Irish. Our Niamh has beautiful fair skin, blue eyes and red hair.
All I know is that I could never be a teacher in Ireland.
If you teach Gaelic 😂
I almost spat out my soda XD I can relate. I was stumped on the first name! How in the --- do you get Kwee-Va from Caoimhe?!
ELENA DI RUVO they mean whenever they have to read off the names for attendance-
K B 😂😂😂😂😂👏Nice!
@@ele_99 Irish is one of six Gaelic languages, born and bred in Ireland and its such a difficult language to learn. I'd say its slowly becoming more popular. I just wish our government would do more to promote and protect the language.
This just confirms my belief that Ireland is a fairytale kingdom and everyone there is a fairy or an elf.
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn Nah us Irish are potatoes -_-
@@-owo-8416 beautiful magical potatoes
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn I'd say your a West brit.
@@deadpanbarry5442
I'm American with Irish Ancestry. We fled during the great potato famine.
I use historical info on 16th century Irish peasantry. The same inbreeding applies to the English and most British lands. Same with the malnutrition. I remember one account talking about how the conditions were worse than an American slave.
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn For someone who has Irish ancestry why shit all over yourself and the Irish people with insults. Believe me when I say your not Irish, maybe in your head but not your soul. If you ever come to Ireland and say what you said you would be put down in seconds.
I'm a coach and here's my experience with Irish names:
Niamh: Hi I'm Niamh, I'm in your team this year.
Me: Sorry there's no Neve in this team.
Niamh: Yes, I'm in your team.
Me: Are you sure?
Niamh: Yes, I'm positive.
Me: Ok there's probably a mistake on this list. Does anyone know where "Ni-arm-ih" is?
Niamh: 🤦♀️
I have been called
Neeme
N-e-am-h
N-I-am
Nee-ma
And my personal fave n-a-heme 🤣
That moment when for half a second I miss read coach as couch. Curse you Dyslexia*.
*I guess more precisely curse my Dyslexia.
I once had a teacher call me “Naomi”. It was a nice change from the usual “ny-am”😂.
I think an Irish "Spelling Bee" must be really difficult.
I go to an irish school so i do a spelling test every friday.
Only if your not Irish
@@blkbks13 *you're
I hear Irish is phonetic so once you know what letters make what sound you'd have absolutely no problem! ... aside from the many silent letters

"Hello, my name is Oghphloisesiorght, but it's pronounced 'heh' "

LMFAO
HAHAHAHAHA
Are you kidding?
Damn, Irish scrabble must be a nightmare.

I’d imagine Welsh would be worse

No, can’t use proper names in Scrabble. 😊
Steve Adams Brilliant Deduction!
My aunt is from Ireland 🇮🇪 born and raised, I am Irish ☘️ on both sides of my family and had the honor of visiting my homeland at my aunt and uncles wedding at the K Club in 2009! Their son is named Conal. My husband and I are planning a trip back to Ireland in 2024.
My name is Roisin and my siblings are Aisling and Sean. Living in England you do spend a lot of time correcting people on pronunciation and spelling but I love my name and it makes me feel closer to my Irish family ☘️ I will be naming my kids with Irish names too! Maybe Meadh or Aiobhinn (Eve-een)
Hey my name is Steve but it’s spelled Stoghce
not staoibhe by any chance?
jooneemoon the fact that that works,,,
Lmfao that's Irish names in a nutshell
Steghbh
I'm dead 😂
I want Key and Peele’s substitute teacher to read these names.😂😂
Ha that would be so funny 😂
You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!
You said what I was thinking...
Omg yes!!😂😂😂
I love Irish names ♥ I worked with Irish sisters and one night we were hanging out and someone asked the one sister what she would name her daughter and she spelled out the name Niamh, and I said it out loud because I've always love that name. People thought it was weird I knew that but the sisters were impressed 😁
I’m trying to convince my husband to use Áine for our daughter. Our sons name is Ronan and I just love the way they go together.
If you live in the US just know that wherever she goes she’ll have to pronounce and spell her name over and over again. Take it from someone who named their daughter Deirdre. Huh? What did you say?
@@romee5763 but Deirdre is a fantastic name so surely it's not that bad right?
I’m very Irish and my parents wanted Aine, But New, nobody would be able to pronounce it right or spell it right, so they just went with Anne. Believe it or not, everybody mispronounces that - they always call me, Annie, and it drives me crazy!
Why am I watching this?: Idk
Do I need this?: Nope
Am I still gonna watch it?: Yes sir
月T s u k i B a b y yeah but what’s up w her hair. Is that natural?
Darrel Davis what you mean she just has it dyed
Lets just admit. None of us expected to find this in our recommended.
I just watched some Enya music videos I have a feeling that had something to do with it 😂
@@lilisimone5480 I've listening to Enya on Tidal, but how would RUclips know that?
I have no clue why looking up videos on bidets would lead me here. My dear departed mother was born in Belfast and l have a grandson named Declan, but how did the algorithm know that?
Not surprised to see it in mine :)
Ijust thougt just that this new way of recommended videos is widening my horizons lol
I'll never name my daughters with one of these names 'cause I'm mexican and non of them rhyme with Sánchez, but all the names are beautiful and I really enjoyed the video
Can I just ask why your kid's name needs to rhyme with Sanchez? Claudia does not so...
How about Fia? It doesn't rhyme with Sanchez, but it sounds good with it...
@@thisisAB I think she means just goes with, not rhymes.
Siobhan Sanchez sounds beautiful ;)
@@moonsiade or Saoirse sanchez
I actually got recommended this video from a video of Saorise Ronan explaining how to pronounce her name
French: let’s make words with as many unnecessary letters as we can!
Irish: hold my Guinness
Jenna Maria they all make sense when you speak irish
@@LK-on6rw just like in French!
I hate French for this very reason. They take a word, add ten thousand million letters but pronounce it bleh.
But they have good wine and cheese.
@@janesmith699 You should be thankful French has been simplified/modernised, or it would have been a lot more difficult.
Why do people forget that Ireland has it's own language and doesn't follow the English phonics. The names in Irish have such beautiful meanings and people make fun of them
Yes well also consider that these people are used to Germanic or Romance orthography which are more phonetic than Irish orthography generally.
@Maynard Frith welcome to AAs or people from African descent world. Till this day we are considered subhuman with low IQs no matter how educated/intelligent and successful we are. Anyways moving away from hurtful bigotry in the world, Irish names and the country in general is very beautiful.
My second name is Niamh since my father is Irish and my parents liked the name,but sadly we live in Germany so the people don’t know that name and sometimes make fun of the spelling and pronunciation yet I love my name
Jesus Christ it’s called a joke I’m not offended why are you
Waffles and pancakes XD thankfully my Irish name is well recognised however Ive been subjected to a life of misspelling
I am of Irish descent. Our rainbow baby was born March 17th. So she is a St. Patrick's Day baby. We named her Emma Aine. She is definitely a lucky girl to us.
Is the baby ok? What does ‘rainbow baby’ mean ? That term scares me!
You do know Emma isn’t an Irish name? Congrats on the birth of your wee daughter
@@fmcm7715 yeah, but Aine is. Sooooo🤷🏼♀️
@@janvan14 do you just call her Emma though?
@@jillcrato1680 - She was born on St Patricks Day, Rainbows appear on loads of things, for that day.
I visited Ireland last year for the first time. I went in every corner of your country and I love it. Landscape was absolutely wonderful especially the Connemara.
Greetings from the Swiss alps.
“Is Onion here?”
*visible confusion from students*
“It’s AWN-YA”
Gaelic for Anne
JAJAJAJA
bts is a mess but in Russia we have the same name. Anja
Bahaha
you say this but my best friends name is áine and a teacher once called her onion by mistake in middle school and we're in college now and we still call her that
teacher: orfhlaith
orfhlaith: present !
teacher: dah... vo...nnn .. teeeee ??
davonte: its davont-ay
My sentiments exactly. There is no longer any excuse. Lol
@49jubilee but its funny though because you can pronounce the words as they are spelled out. sinead ?? foreal sheh-nade??
Teacher: Ah, Grandma.
Grainne : 🙁Here.
Grandma Grainne : Ah, that'd be me.
underrated comment
Where is A-A-ron?
Why am I so fascinated by the way she pronounce the letter H. Granted I am American so I find this whole thing fascinating in general since I have Irish heritage. But just completely in love with the way she pronounces the letter H!
Same here, I Love hearing her say “h”!
What county
I like to think that we give it extra huh power by saying haitch rather than aitch.
Think about all the words beginning with h that have the huh sound. We just decided to add that to the letter itself.
You're going to love how we pronounce Z.
@@hewhocannotbenamed LOL I already know how the letter z is pronounced because I lived in Canada for about 7 or so years when I was a kid. Okay that's me assuming you guys say Zed. So do you? LOL
My Irish catholic ancestors always used saints names for their babies. Times have changed & these old Irish legend names are now embraced.
Irish names - create a sound then dip your hand in a scrabble bag to find out how you are going to spell it.
making fun of minority languages that people were literally killed for speaking makes you look great
@@abear2874 was a joke bro
Not true, you’re trying to pronounce these beautiful Irish names with the English language in your brain, don’t try to pronounce names in any language with English language rules, the pronunciation and spelling of these names makes perfect sense in the Irish language. I’m Irish and my name is Gráinne, the mother of Caoimhe, Saoirse and Sadhbh❤️
@@DerryK67 Sorry for the rude people who do not understand how to be respectfully of other peoples culture. My Great Grandmother was born in Dublin and so I have had a curiosity about the Gaelic.
Gwen Scott thank you 🙏🏻😀
The first name’s subtitle came up as “Queef” on my phone so that’s nice
I was wondering who else would see that lol
Haha same 😂😭
🙄🙄
Hahaha I saw that too
I’m dying 😊😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing video! I love that you took your time to pronounce each name slowly and also introduced the phonetic spelling on the screen. I really liked how you also provided some descriptionfor each name and gave it a little bit of cultural background!! Amazing video!!
My host mother in Ireland was called Siobhan and I really loved the name! It's just so beautiful and interesting! Love all of those irish names!
When the Irish started using Roman letters, they apparently did it in a way to spite the Romans.
Lots of letters in the Roman alphabet have different sounds in different languages, even though most European languages are from the same family, starting off with one language, proto indo- european (aryan) about 6-7000 years ago around the black and caspian seas. Magyar (Hungarian), Suomi (Finnish), and Euzkadi (Basque) are the exceptions.
‘C’ can be like s or k or ch. I is frequently ee or uhn (the n is silent- it’s there to remind you to breathe out the h). O is often oo. W doesn’t exist in some - it’s pronounced v in German, as is v itself.
The irish alphabet has only 19 letters. No j, k, q, v, w, y, or z.
And so on. Irish is actually the closest living relative in structure, grammar and usage to ladin, a direct, little altered descendant of latin, spoken only in NE italy, sw austria and se switzerland by a small number of people. The people who became the romans were very close culturally and linguistically to the people who became the celts.
Never attribute to spite that which can be adequately explained by drunken Irishman.
@R C That depends on what word you're saying. For example there are lots of German names or words like "validieren" (to validate), in which "V" is pronounced like a "W".
Still, Kevin's original sentence doesn't make sense.
An important thing to know is that the traditional Irish alphabet is quite different from that in England. When we won independence, the nation was flat broke and stuck with the English Civil Service’s typewriters, so the language was given a major overhaul to try and fit; hence the often weird spelling- it’s like dancing in another man’s shoes.
“O-r-f-h-l-a-i-t-h, yeah, Orla.”
Yh thats my name
Orla Gartland!!!
I’ve seen Orlaith, but not with the ‘f’. I like it, but if I named my child that I wouldn’t have the ‘f’ because I know their name would constantly get mispronounced. Orlaith would usually be pronounced right though, because it is pretty common in Ireland.
What are the other spellings of "Or-la"…? 😊
Orlagh*
I just saw and heard the the name Siobhan in a Series and absolutely love it! The spelling is so unique!! I never Irish names were so unique!!! Love it
*_LOVE_* when you say "lovely" sounds like Heaven to me.
One like is one respect for all the irish starbucks baristas ✌🏻
The Irish baristas ARE Irish?? Like these names are all so common here so they're really used to spelling them
Dumbest thing I’ve ever read hahaha
everyone here knows how to pronounce the names because they're so common lol
Irish people know Irish names 😂
Irish people can... spell Irish names? unless they have dyslexia maybe
Subtitles :
"the first name is queef" 😂😂😂😂
Edit : thanks for so many likes 👍 might as well plug myself @missbezerk4 😉👌
Literally just came to it comments to see if anyone else saw that 😭😭
@@checkmebecky7945 😂😂😂😂I'm glad you saw it too 😅👌

@@ksz7148 😂😂😂😂😫
😂 that's what got me to click on the video was the subtitles lol I was like there's no way that subtitle is accurate
This is really cool! I'm writing a book about a young American fellow stuck in a small Irish town, and this is sure to be fun. Thanks!
Also you're really great at keeping a straight face while spelling out pronunciations that are completely different that the actual written name!
Me as a teacher: “is sadhbuh here?? What about Blathnayd? Grain?”
True story. There was a girl named Niamh in my highschool. One day in math we had a substitute teacher and he was doing attendance.
Sub: Is NI-AM here?
Niamh: It's NEEVE
Sub: But it says--
Niamh: It's spelled wrong.
And then the rest of the class giggled and the sub had no idea what was going on. I feel bad for him in retrospect. XD
TheFirstHurrah omg, poor girl 😹
That must suck, having it mispronounced all the time LOL
I love the way she says "haych" instead of "aych" for H, that's so cute.
Anna Bennett I literally had this thought then I saw this comment. 🥳
I was looking for this comment 😂
That's just most non American English speaking countries
Doesnt make sense to me why you would say aych 😅 so do you say arry instead of harry haha
Lauren_r_smith no lol she was just talking about when you say the letter, not how you or ounce it
Charming video - many thanks! What a lot of lovely names you Irish lasses have!
Beautifully explained. I’m fascinated with the Irish culture. Dreaming of visiting one day.
Seems like the ancient Irish people just received a sheet with Latin letters in the mail, and there was no one to read it out loud for them.
This is perfect. Legit laughed out loud.
That's because for many centuries Irish was largely a spoken language, with a seanchaí (storyteller) travelling around telling mystical tales and spreading the spoken language further. It wasn't until about the 4th or 5th Century that a form of writing was developed.
MsG
The “mh” being a “vee” sound is THROWING ME
it's thrown everyone I've known my whole life :)
Niamh Kelly your name looks so beautiful! How do you pronounce it?

Love these names ( my grandfather was Paddy Quinn, from Ballycastle, Co. Antrim) also love the links to folklore and legends.
Fascinating, thank you!
Love this content! Third generation immigrant Irish. Named Shawn… was the fourth child. Parents swore I was going to be a male, then just too tired to change my name! So grateful they did!
Maeve and Siobhan are quite common in Irish American families
Also in England.
in boston Aiofe, Aine, Maeve, and Niamh are for sure the top two
I’ll never forget I was in school and one of our dorm roommates was named Siobhan. I’ll never forget she put her name on a tub of ice cream and I was like “who the hell is see-oh-ban?” she’s like that’s me... I was like woah!
My best friends name is niamh
The first time I saw my friend Siobhan spell her name my mind was blown.😂

All those names sound somehow exotic and profoundly! Greetings from Poland 🥰
Anyone else loving how she pronounces an h? Ugh, her accent, so beautiful!!! ❤
The only one that makes sense to my non-Irish brain is Maeve
Golden_mage 2000 wait until you hear the other spelling of it
Yeah my cousin is a meadbh
😂😂😂 oh honeyyy
Tú anam bocht
Ellie Should be Meadhbh or Maibh(e). Or Meabh. The ‘d’ is aspirated, so is followed by ‘h’.

One of my fave books growing up was The Lady, by Anne McCaffery. Set in 1970's Ireland, this vid was a great help in finally learning how to pronounce the names of some of the characters! Great vid!
I feel the urge to have 50 daughters so I can give them pretty irish name.
Yeah. Call one of them Caoilfhionn also known as Keelin
You do that. Good luck to you.
Nim Boo to breed with????? What r they animals
Ellemerob my sisters a Keelyn we spell it with a y tho and nobody can pronounce it or spell it 😂😂
Rebecca T Humans are animals.
omg the way she says: 'Róise' sounds exactly like 'Roosje' in dutch and that is a populair name too in our country..
Emilia Menschaert same as German. It’s close
I heard that too!
It’s “kee vaa” hear in tipp and a lot of others differ too. So funny how annunciation differs so much based on location in such a tiny island! Thanks for this vid :)
Thanks for this. There are some beautiful names here. I really love the name Siobhan and always have. So happy you included it here.
The difference between spelling and writing is so impressive.... Madre mía!!!
Baikonur BKN isnt spelling and writing the same thing hahaha, I think you mean pronunciation
French is sitting somewhere thinking it was complex 😂😂😂😅😅😅
I’ve have found that there are a lot of silent letters in Irish names
ErAmGr 62 for no reason!!!
@@Themusiclover1322 not really for no reason, irish has a fairly standard pronunciation system (unlike english lol) so the extra letters do change how the word is pronounced and so are needed
ErAmGr 62 they aren’t silent letters. It makes perfect sense if you can speak irish
o o well said
They’re actually not silent lol
Yay! I was worried you would skip over mine, but it was the last one! I’m a Siobhan. I’m American and I have had SO many people never pronounce my name correctly. I used to really dislike my name but now I love it!😄
Such beautiful names.
We have a similar name to “Aine” in Sweden spelled “Anja” same goes for “Aoife” and Sweden “Eva/ Evfa” very similar they pronounce the same way just spelled differently :)
in germany too :) she pronounces like the german names Anja and Eva...
In Dutch as well! Anja is a normal name - just like Eva
Those are very common names all around rhe world.
It’s common in Poland too, not from there, somewhat common in the US too
Lepi exactly
I’d probably name my daughter “Áine” so later if she comes to Starbucks they be putting her name as “Onion”
Probably would spell it Anya. But I like the name too.
Long-con evil genius...🤣
My sisters name is aine. Spelled that way too. We call her onion sometimes 😂
😳
My names Anya and they spelt it as “Áine” at Starbucks
Yes. We named our daughter Siobhan after a soap opera character, we both loved! Many have remarked on her name, esp the spelling of it! Thank you for including it 😁!
Such beautiful names!
My daughter, whose name is Chaeli, has a friend named Sinead and another named Maeve. The other name we almost named her was Rowan.
Amie Lawson how popular is Rowan in Ireland? My mom just got it from a book haha
Rowan Buckson I am not sure, I actually live in the US. It is such a beautiful name!
That’s interesting. My family has very strong Welsh and Schottish roots, very little Irish, and my name is Rowan. Maeve is a beautiful name!
Rowan Buckson the only Rowan I know is American so not very popular at all!
WalkTwoMoons UponTheStars We have such a large mix of different things, but were always drawn to Irish and Gaelic names.
Aine sounds like an Aussie thing “good on ya mate”
lol I thought the same thing
Hahahaha I thought that too
"Good Áine, mate!"
Finally I can learn meaning of all Irish names. Thanks for that. Greetings from Poland 💚
Love these vids. Please keep them coming
I’m not even pregnant...I don’t want to be pregnant...I’m still in school. Why am I here?
Kaleigh Miranda I’m here just in case I meet a future Irish friend, I can impress them by knowing how to say their name 😂
Same lol. Im only here cause my name is Irish
Kaleigh Miranda Because of the three useless letters at the end of your name, methinks? :))
off topic, but i love that your name has the “leigh” in it too. everyone spells mine wrong 😤
Kaleigh Miranda ~ So you know what not to name your kids 😂
It’s so interesting the different “old” traditional names in Irish culture compared to mine. If I met a person with any of these names I’ll compliment them because they are so beautiful

Fascinating. My favorites were Orfhlaith and Sadhbh.
All such beautiful names!
"It's not that old, maybe from the 1920's."
Me: Okay.

Me: ...oh.
In Europe, old is older than US...
They have buildings that are much older than the US buildings
Rory Ridge We have buildings in daily use that were old ages before the US was even an idea, and before anyone except the natives knew America even existed.
When the language goes back 2000 years, 100 years is but the blink of an eye.
@@roryridge4242 Yes! A friend once boasted that she lived in a very old house - it was built in 1823. I couldn't help but tell her that's not old. My mom's house in southern Italy is about 1000 years old - and that is NO exaggeration!
In the US a hundred years is a long time. In Europe a hundred miles is a long distance. Relativity I suppose.
My name is Ireland and I’m barely even Irish my parents just liked the name

Very helpful and such beautiful names.
Me:what’s your name?
Irish: Karen
Me: how is it spelled?
Irish: kvhmevhdeadfvgdvhááren
THE CAPTIONS SAY THE “THE FIRST NAME IS QUEEF” I CANNOT I-
The Biz i wheezed
Omg..
*casually reading subtitles as QUEEF pops up* 😮 what in the world I- *hits back button to make sure name isn’t actually QUEEF*
OK, I understand, but that is totally American ... I thought the same thing .. beautiful names though.
Yeah i was like wtf at the first name.
all these comments forgetting that Irish is its own language and our phonetics don't follow the English pronunciations o o f
Actually they don’t follow any language, other than Irish obviously. I’m not a native English speaker, my language is easy, you read every letter as it is. The only reason people would compare it to English is because this video is targeted towards English speakers. Don’t take it as an “English” thing, take it as “rest of the world” thing. Your language is hard, my dude!
STELLAR! I think they mean all the comments saying “How do these letters make this sound!!?” And “go home Ireland ur drunk” like..it’s a different language lol why are they so surprised it doesn’t follow English rules
Yep
the problem many people have is that while having some variations in sound, most languages using Latin letters (the ones you are reading now) have a common base on what types of sound each letter can do
...meanwhile the Irish: We like your letters but you don't have enough letters for our sounds, let's use a combination of these completly unrelated to these sounds letters to build this sound
Rachel Gill I don’t think they’re surprised, they’re just confused. I was and still am rather confused too since it also doesn’t follow my language’s rules.
I could listen to you talk all day. I love how you say the letter H. Ahh
I’m American born and raised but have a lot of Irish ancestry on both sides and love the Irish culture! I feel connected to it. This is so fascinating and beautiful!!! You are gorgeous! Thank you for this!!
the letter b: exists
the Irish language: am i a joke to you?
Rich Is Flecked When it’s “BH” it’s pronounced “V”. When it’s “B” it’s pronounced the same as English. Also, the spelling of names changed in the past tense, all names get a “h” after the first letter in the past tense if they start with any letter except “l,n,r” or a vowel (our alphabet is aábcdeéfghiílmnoóprstu (v in like 2 words))
Like in 'bhean' which means woman, it's usually pronounced like 'vhen.'
iRxsy I’ve only heard it as “Van”, but it will only be “V” with an outside influence
Leah Keeley It’s mBha(e)n (women) - vahn with the slightest of slight m sounds before it. The ‘e’ is dialect Kind of like really stressing the Bh. Curiously, unless you know Irish, the singular is mNa. (Actually, I might have the singular and plural mixed up).
Kevin Twining mná is the plural. I’m fluent.
I’m a teenager and French Australian this video has no relevance to me Rn but it’s still interesting!!
Loved the video! Irish names are so wonderful, the spelling is a bit tricky but you only have to learn it once to be able to read those and similar words, because the Irish spelling is consistent (as opposed to English). The meanings of the names and the pronunciation are just soooo beautiful. Thanks again ❤
Wow ... i can't read & spell the right spelling & pronounciation of this amazing names ... without you Wolfe Momma 💞💞
The only name that is pronounced anything like it's spelled is Maeve!!!!
trainergirl Maeve is the English spelling of Maedhbh
There were a few more
Yes i was about to say that. The bh in all the names seem to be a V sound and si is SH
No V in Irish
TheBlackBalloon there it isss. my friend was real lucky that her mom chose "maeve." her little sister is beibhinn and you can imagine how that goes in the US
My name is Roisin. I’m not from Ireland and have no Irish heritage, but my mum was inspired by her Irish bestie. Growing up in New Zealand no one had a clue how to pronounce my name, but I’ve always loved it
Do you mean Rósín?
@@luciamceleney4853surely she knows how to spell her own name?
I really enjoyed your succinct, informative presentation!
